NEW BRUNSWICK — A retired corrections officer from Burlington County was caught taking photos under the skirt of a 15-year-old shopper in a New Brunswick store and is suspected of doing so on previous occasions, officials said today.

Harold Williams, 60, of Eastampton, was charged with invasion of privacy and child endangerment after being captured and held by a security guard shortly after the incident Friday, county and local officials said.

Williams followed the girl into a store on George Street, held a cell phone under her skirt and took a photo, Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan and city Police Director Anthony Caputo said in a joint statement.

Williams retired in 2008 as a corrections officer at the Mid-State Correctional Facility in Wrightstown, the officials said.

He frequently visited New Brunswick delivering baked goods to local restaurants for a company in Eastampton, they said.

Investigators believe Williams may have taken similar photos in other jurisdictions.

They are asking anyone with information to call Investigator Andreea Capraru of the Prosecutor’s office at (732) 745-3600 or Detective William Coleman of the New Brunswick police at (732) 745-5222.
